It was fitting that Myron T. Ilerrick, unibassador to
France, should die in the .country and in the position where
her served jointly the people of France and America so il
lustriously. No modern American diplomat has been more
successful in his career than Ilerrick. None has won more
securely the affection, the respect, the friendship of the
people before whom he represented the United States. Fiance
hus lost a kind, competent and understanding public servant.
, ' Lo Grando cannot well afford to Ignore opportunities to
secure the beginnings of a commercial airport. So rapidly
aro developments taking place in air travel that even the
best informed experts hesitate ,to mako predictions for the
future. Two mail planes each way over the present Old Ore
gon Trail air route will be flying this year. . It is only a '
matter of time until passenger service and com'pierclal routes
uli follow. The city offering best facilities will profit most
by the development.., - ; - ;, ; ....y I
WASHINGTON POTATOES "... .
'iu yesteiday's Oregon Journal was an article discussing
u.t-iuu consumption of potatoes, with information showing
Uiul Uio Portland and other Oregon markets bought Yakima
"spuds" while our own potato growers went begging for a
suitable and profitable place to Ree their product. The writ
er observed that such practices provided an excellent way
to build up neighboring states at the expense of our own.
'ihe same situation frequently exists here. Grando Rondo
valley potato growera have multiplied until it holds a sig
nificant place in the agricultural industry. Grown from
certified seed under ideal conditions, Union county potatoes
rank with any in the country. They are carefully sized and
graded by tho professional growers and offer as desirable a
product to the buyer as can be found.
Yet here in La Grando we often have Yakima ami Idaho
potatoes offered to La Grande housewives when our own'
"spuds" are mure easily available. Potatoes are frequently
bought outside, shipped in here and given a preference in
our local market. They are in direct competition with our
own products and with our own farm neighbors. They deny
to the valley grower tho specific market that is his just duo.
r.nd tho'y 'servo to depress the prices in that market and
therefore cut down the community's buying power.
If you have never compared a first grade Union count v
potato with the-ordinary product shipped in from outside
district, make the comparison at the first opportunity.
You'll insist on locally grown spuds ever after. Nut that
Union county potatoes are vastly superior to those crown
in other well known potato producing districts, lint the first
quulity potato produced here is much suiwrior to the usual!
guides biought into local stores from outside districts. Fancy'
guides are seldom available unless the outside grower is un
able to find a ready market for thorn in eastern center.
The housewife in the m Grande territory who asks for!
and insists on Grande Honde valley potatoes benefits herself
in two ways. She is sure of getting a letter grade for her I
own table and she is directly increasing the demand for a
home-grown product, liuilding up that demand means build
ing up the income and buying power of the Grande Hondo
valley grower. It means giving him money that he will in
return siwnd immediately in this community. There is a
direct benefit to the prosperity of the ldi Grande territory,
while buying Yakima or Idaho potatoes, for example, merely
contributes to the prosperity of those communities. Kim)
jut where your potatoes are grown, who grows them, all
you can about them. It's one way to aid the develpomonl
of this territory.
